75 · Al-Qiyama سورة القيامة

لَا أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ ۝١

I do call to witness the Resurrection Day;

وَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالنَّفْسِ اللَّوَّامَةِ ۝٢

And I do call to witness the self-reproaching spirit: (Eschew Evil).

أَيَحْسَبُ الْإِنْسَانُ أَلَّنْ نَجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُ ۝٣

Does man think that We cannot assemble his bones?

بَلَىٰ قَادِرِينَ عَلَىٰ أَنْ نُسَوِّيَ بَنَانَهُ ۝٤

Nay, We are able to put together in perfect order the very tips of his fingers.

بَلْ يُرِيدُ الْإِنْسَانُ لِيَفْجُرَ أَمَامَهُ ۝٥

But man wishes to do wrong (even) in the time in front of him.

يَسْأَلُ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ ۝٦

He questions: "When is the Day of Resurrection?"

فَإِذَا بَرِقَ الْبَصَرُ ۝٧

At length, when the sight is dazed,

وَخَسَفَ الْقَمَرُ ۝٨

And the moon is buried in darkness.

وَجُمِعَ الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ ۝٩

And the sun and moon are joined together,-

يَقُولُ الْإِنْسَانُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَيْنَ الْمَفَرُّ ۝١٠

That Day will Man say: "Where is the refuge?"

كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ ۝١١

By no means! No place of safety!

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْمُسْتَقَرُّ ۝١٢

Before thy Lord (alone), that Day will be the place of rest.

يُنَبَّأُ الْإِنْسَانُ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ ۝١٣

That Day will Man be told (all) that he put forward, and all that he put back.

بَلِ الْإِنْسَانُ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِهِ بَصِيرَةٌ ۝١٤

Nay, man will be evidence against himself,

وَلَوْ أَلْقَىٰ مَعَاذِيرَهُ ۝١٥

Even though he were to put up his excuses.

لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِ ۝١٦

Move not thy tongue concerning the (Quran) to make haste therewith.

إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُ وَقُرْآنَهُ ۝١٧

It is for Us to collect it and to promulgate it:

فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَاهُ فَاتَّبِعْ قُرْآنَهُ ۝١٨

But when We have promulgated it, follow thou its recital (as promulgated):

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُ ۝١٩

Nay more, it is for Us to explain it (and make it clear):

كَلَّا بَلْ تُحِبُّونَ الْعَاجِلَةَ ۝٢٠

Nay, (ye men!) but ye love the fleeting life,

وَتَذَرُونَ الْآخِرَةَ ۝٢١

And leave alone the Hereafter.

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَاضِرَةٌ ۝٢٢

Some faces, that Day, will beam (in brightness and beauty);-

إِلَىٰ رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٌ ۝٢٣

Looking towards their Lord;

وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ بَاسِرَةٌ ۝٢٤

And some faces, that Day, will be sad and dismal,

تَظُنُّ أَنْ يُفْعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٌ ۝٢٥

In the thought that some back-breaking calamity was about to be inflicted on them;

كَلَّا إِذَا بَلَغَتِ التَّرَاقِيَ ۝٢٦

Yea, when (the soul) reaches to the collar-bone (in its exit),

وَقِيلَ مَنْ ۜ رَاقٍ ۝٢٧

And there will be a cry, "Who is a magician (to restore him)?"

وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ الْفِرَاقُ ۝٢٨

And he will conclude that it was (the Time) of Parting;

وَالْتَفَّتِ السَّاقُ بِالسَّاقِ ۝٢٩

And one leg will be joined with another:

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْمَسَاقُ ۝٣٠

That Day the Drive will be (all) to thy Lord!

فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّىٰ ۝٣١

So he gave nothing in charity, nor did he pray!-

وَلَٰكِنْ كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ۝٣٢

But on the contrary, he rejected Truth and turned away!

ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِ يَتَمَطَّىٰ ۝٣٣

Then did he stalk to his family in full conceit!

أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰ ۝٣٤

Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, woe!

ثُمَّ أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰ ۝٣٥

Again, Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, woe!

أَيَحْسَبُ الْإِنْسَانُ أَنْ يُتْرَكَ سُدًى ۝٣٦

Does man think that he will be left uncontrolled, (without purpose)?

أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةً مِنْ مَنِيٍّ يُمْنَىٰ ۝٣٧

Was he not a drop of sperm emitted (in lowly form)?

ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ ۝٣٨

Then did he become a leech-like clot; then did (Allah) make and fashion (him) in due proportion.

فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ الزَّوْجَيْنِ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنْثَىٰ ۝٣٩

And of him He made two sexes, male and female.

أَلَيْسَ ذَٰلِكَ بِقَادِرٍ عَلَىٰ أَنْ يُحْيِيَ الْمَوْتَىٰ ۝٤٠

Has not He, (the same), the power to give life to the dead?
